Accounts Receivable payments for taxes

[Richard Geddes]

Basically, it's the default settings for

Reports -> Income & Expense -> Cash Flow

Looking at the selections, Accounts Receivable is selected, Assets is
not selected.  ( I did not make changes to the options to get this report )
The report displays an "Assets:Accounts Receivable" line

In this report, it looks like the income sum ( Money In )  includes the
only the entries that were paid, not the ones that were invoiced.

---------------
For the same Cash Flow Report, I change the options ( Accounts Tab ) by
checking the "Always show  sub-accounts" check box ( by default it's
unchecked )

This report does not show an "Assets:Accounts Receivable", however, it
displays lines for different "Income:Sales:xxx" sources, which I assume
is the detail of the Accounts Receivable.

The "Money In" amount in this report differs from the "Money In" in the
report described above, and it seems that this "Money In" sum is the sum
of the invoiced entries.
